What are two reasons families are important

​Everyone is born into a family, but not everyone gets a healthy family or a supportive one.

​Families can boost our confidence, they can serve as the pillar of our strength, and enable us to become the best versions of ourselves. Families generally work to make the members feel secure and provide support as needed.

​How do you show your family members you care about them and value them?

What do you do with your family members in tough situations, times of excitement, and episodes of loss?

How does your family make you a better person?

How does your family support you in school, friendships, extracurricular activities, ​and in life?

How can a family positively impact a student's life?​

​Integrity - the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness

​

​Having integrity means doing the right thing in a reliable way. It's a personality trait that we admire, since it means a person has a moral compass that doesn't waver. It literally means having "wholeness" of character, just as an integer is a "whole number" with no fractions. Physical objects can display integrity, too — if you're going over a rickety old bridge that sways in the wind, you might question its structural integrity.

• Families set the stage for future relationships
